Editor:

We, the undersigned, recommend that our neighbors in District 4 (Rio Rancho) elect Noreen Scott to Rio Rancho’s school board.

As a long-time economic developer and Rio Rancho resident, Noreen knows first-hand the value of a quality school district in attracting and retaining businesses and families. Good schools are a wellspring of community pride and distinguish us from other cities that compete for the same business and residents.

The school board sets vision and goals for the district and plays a watchdog role. It’s an important job.

Noreen will add business-world experience, mature judgement and a proven community commitment to our school board.

Please consider her for the District 4 board seat when you vote Nov. 5.

Respectfully,

Gary and Janet Sullivan
